I have had four incidents of the rims bending during normal driving conditions, including two blowouts of the front tires at highway speeds as a result of the rims being bent out of shape. I produced four receipts of the repairs which I payed for to the dealer in mid january.they had a district regional manager look at my case and then declined to reimburse me for the damage,I do know that there is a class action law suit in progress for this very reason and I still have yet to receive my original receipts as well as a copy of the report that was declined by the dealer. I was told numerous times by the service manager that the papers would be mailed to me but that was over four weeks ago, and now they are lost in the mail.I would like an explanation of why a safety concern such as this can just be dismissed with no reason when hundreds if not thousands of people are having the same problem please get back to me on this matter, thank you ,stephen weir.

It's under warranty (less than one year and only 13000 miles) but am reporting it just in case I'm not the only one with this problem.*ak( dot number: )
